Leeds concrete without the runaround
Leeds is a small town just off the freeway, and small towns are easy to skip. We stop.
Leeds
Leeds is a few hundred homes just off Interstate 15, with the old Silver Reef mining district up the hill behind it. Lots run roomy. People keep a garden, a shop, a horse trailer, or all three, and the concrete they ask for follows. A slab for a shed. A pad so the trailer is not parked in mud after a storm. A walk from the house to the outbuilding.
A town this size may only want a handful of small pours in a given month, and a handful is not much to bring a big crew out. With us, Leeds does not have to fill a truck alone. It goes on a pour day with nearby towns and the load is shared. Text us a picture of the spot and a rough length and width. From there we either talk it through or drive out and look.
Pouring in Leeds
- A step up from the valley floor
- Leeds sits at about 3,500 feet, higher than St. George and a touch cooler. Summer is still hot enough that we pour early and wet cure. Winter nights can dip below freezing, so cold weather pours get covered until the concrete has set up.
- Rocky, mixed ground
- Soil here comes off the hills, so it is a mix of sand, gravel and broken rock, with clay in places. Rocky ground compacts well. Clay pockets do not. We dig test spots where the slab is going and replace anything soft with gravel.
- Storm runoff
- Summer storms send water downhill quickly in this part of the county. A slab placed in the path of runoff gets undercut at the edges. We look at where water already flows across your lot and set the slope so it goes around the concrete.
Common jobs in Leeds
- 1
Shed and hot tub slabs
Leeds lots have room for sheds and small shops, and a slab keeps the floor dry and the building square.
- 2
RV and trailer pads
Horse trailers, campers and utility trailers are common here and sink into wet ground without a pad.
- 3
Sidewalks and paths
A concrete walk between the house, the garage and the outbuildings beats a dirt track in storm season.

Repairs
Older homes in town have chipped steps and cracked walks that can be fixed before they turn into replacements.

Leeds: straight answers
My lot is up toward Silver Reef and it is rocky. Can you still pour?
Yes. Rocky ground is slower to dig but makes a firm base once it is leveled. We may need to bring in gravel to fill between the rocks and get an even grade. Send a photo of the spot, and expect us to come see ground like that in person.
How big should a shed slab be?
Most people pour the slab the same size as the shed floor, or a few inches larger on each side. Check what the shed maker recommends. Send us the shed dimensions and where the door faces, and we will set the slope to drain away from it.
Can you pour in Leeds in winter?
Most winter days, yes. Leeds gets cold nights but long freezes are not the norm at this elevation. We pick a day with a mild forecast, pour mid morning, and cover the slab overnight so frost does not reach fresh concrete.
